cngodles Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I’ve been to an outcrop on a cut highway ramp three times over the past three days. First two times I gathered rocks and broke them up at home. This time I stuck around and searched. This outcrop has a prominent exposure of the Pine Creek limestone. In the shale immediately above that, I found my first fossilized plant/tree tap root. 13oz Estwing pick for scale. I was able to recover it. It’s about 12 pieces. The top portion has a quartz looking center. I plan on taking some photos and then trying to piece it back together with some paraloid.

cngodles Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Recovered pieces thus far. Hope to photograph some better, and then rejoin pieces.
